Use the Cloud Connector to Connect SAP HANA On-Premise to SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA Database
- How to enable the cloud connector in an SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database
- How to install the cloud connector
- How to configure the cloud connector and establish a connection to an SAP HANA on-premise database
Prerequisites
- An SAP HANA on-premise database with SPS05 or higher if you want to use Remote Table Replication. If you have SAP HANA express edition SPS04 Rev45, however, you may still use the cloud connector for SDA virtual access.
- A running instance of an SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database (trial or production) in a Cloud Foundry environment. For more information how to use SAP BTP Connectivity in a Neo environment, please refer to this documentation.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use SAP BTP Connectivity to connect an SAP HANA on-premise database to an SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database to replicate data from SAP HANA on-premise to the cloud database. This includes setting up the cloud connector in your on-premise database, which allows you to set up a connection to a remote source that does not require the installation and configuration of the Data Provisioning Agent.
This connection is a convenient choice if you want to quickly replicate data from an on-premise database to an SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database.
Let us look at the steps you need to take to install and set up cloud connector, which you will learn how to do throughout this tutorial:
-
Enable the cloud connector for SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database.
-
Install and configure the cloud connector.
-
Establish a remote source to replicate data from SAP HANA on-premise to SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database.
